The Inn at Fox Briar Farm

Innkeeper Donna Jamison’s parents started Peddler’s Village in 1962 and purchased this farm in 1965. She opened the 50-acre Inn at Fox Briar Farm this spring and treasures the land’s old English feel and says guests can expect to see foxes, along with beavers, deer, and bald eagles. Dating back to 1740, the peaceful eco-minded estate has eight rooms, homemade gourmet breakfast, woodsy walking trails, and an unofficial dark sky preserve that somehow endures.
Nearby activities: A 1/4 mile from the inn, you’ll follow the brick road in Peddler’s Village to find quirky shops (there are 65), restaurants (there are seven), and monthly festivals like Bluegrass and Blueberries. For a lion door knocker, there’s Knobs and Knockers, hot sauces at Pepper Palace, and cool culinary accoutrements at Cookery Ware. Sip a signature Apricot Rooster cocktail with apricot brandy at the newly renovated Red Fox Lounge inside the storied Cock 'n Bull, then unwind on the patio at Earl’s for warm buttery rosemary bread, Fried Tomato and Burrata, and 5-Hour Braised Molasses Short Ribs.
How to get there without a car: Take the Trans-Bridge Lines bus to Lahaska/Peddler’s Village, where you can either walk on Carousel Rd to the inn or have the innkeepers pick you up in a golf cart.
Total travel time: 2 hours
